Windows 7: Regseeker destroys W7 Registry

I don't know if anyone got this, first time i went using W7, i was using the Regseeker for, problems fix, but then, suddently the computer went slow, a lot of crashes.. and stuff like, WMP problems, Firefox closing itself...

Solution for me? Formating, installing all over again...
Not knowing that the culprit was the Regseeker, i was using it again... And again glitches... So i did a repair install and all started working again...

Not i've left RegSeeker, i'm using tune-up utilities 2010 and works like charm, everything is now ok..

OUCH! That's why one should stay away or backup before cleaning the registry as it can mess up the system because sometimes it deletes valid and important keys which can make the OS unstable or leaving it in a corrupt state.

Which for me is like using nothing. It has never been able to clean/delete keys of services of any uninstalled software that used that part of the registry. But, to be fair, I haven't found a cleaner yet that can do this. I've always done it manually after an uninstall by gaining permission then deleting. I do agree with staying away from cleaners unless you know what your doing or have some type of rollback software installed such as Eaz-Fix.
